Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
Yes, there is some absurdity to this conversation. I guess Frank and I have been doing this for so long, its just part of a game we play ;-)
Anyway, I could give the instructions in one step:
- use Pd-extended ;-)
But that's exactly what I mean: "mapping" IMO has become promotion material for pd-extended, but increasingly hard to use for users of newer Pd versions or alternative distributions.
I don't think many newbies really want to get into the nitty-gritty of
hand-built Pd installs, but this conversation did make me smooth out the installation process. Before, the 10 steps were for creating a library from scratch. I think its pretty simple considering. Now, the libraries are pre-built in SVN, so you only need to:
- cd /path/to/your/extra (or wherever you want to install stuff)
- svn co http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/mappin...
- svn co http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/abstractions/pur...
- pd -lib libdir -lib purepd -lib mapping
You cheat a bit here: "svn co whereverlibdiris; make libdir", and I don't know, if help-files in mapping work then - with just your sets they won't. And you still have the requirement of putting the directories mapping and purepd into a directory in the pd path like "extra", so it's still four paths to set, just like I wrote in my first mail.
Ciao
